You would think that the heir to the throne would rate a Mk4.

I'm not exactly sure what she is shooting, but I read somewhere that they were .22 LR conversions. Something about the rear sight base doesn't look right for a regular Mk.III. And given the position of the butt plate, the recoil from a .303 could be a bit uncomfortable.
In another pic from the same event, the Queen Mum was having a go as well. "It's a nice sunny day. Let's all go out and get some fresh air and take a few potshots at the U-boats' periscopes in the Channel, shall we?"
I must say, the Princess was a very attractive young lady.

Yes, you should change your master password every few months. The answer to the rest of the problem is to use a password manager like LastPass or KePass. I use LastPass and it can generate passwords of just about any length and complexity and can log you in automatically if desired. Icon sits on the toolbar of your browser.
Here's a password I just generated:

Reminded me of this:
Picasso was particularly harassed by the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police. On one occasion, while the Nazis searched his apartment, a Gestapo officer saw a photograph of one of Picasso’s most famous works, Guernica. The 1937 painting depicts the bombing of Guernica, a city in Spain attacked by the German and Italian fascists at the direction of Francisco Franco and the Spanish nationalists. When the Gestapo officer spotted the photograph, he asked Picasso, “Did you do that?” only to receive the artist’s answer: “No, you did.” 
Presumably the officer was in a good mood (or secretly liked Picasso's work) or he would have been done for.
